OPENING OF THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Considerable exertions have been made for some time past to op:n the " Great Western" Railway in the course of next month, and we understand it will be perfectly ready by the 25th of May—that the Di vetors will hare the large plant of engines and car riages running during the week imrnediaZlY following that day, to prove every thing in order—and :hat the line to Maidenhead will be open to the public on the 4th of June. As the Eton Montem is on the sth, Ascot Races, on the 10th, and the Coronation of her Majesty, on the 26th June, we do not wonder at the Directors haring made some effort to be ready at the time now intended. We are quite sure that the delay which has occurred beyond the time first contemplated for the opening, will be amply compensated by the substantial nature and perfect finish of the works ; and further, that the travelling on this important line of communication with the Southern and Western Counties, the whole of South Wales, and at least the half of Ireland, will create a most favourable impression on the tens of thousands who will resort to it during ito first month — a month so memorable in the future history of our country. It is now rumoured that the QUEEN is not to go to Ireland ; but her MAJESTY ought to go. She ought to diffuse all the advantages of her Court as much as p)ssible over every part of her empire. To sanction the just Government of Lord MULGRAVE by her presence, would have a moral influence both over the discomfited oppressors and the relieved oppressed, which would be of incalculable advantage. It would give durability to the improved system. We shall learn, therefore, with great regret, that the rumour that her MAJESTY does not intend to visit the different parts of her dominion after her Coronation, is well founded. The mass of useful and practical benevolence which comes daily into operation is, we believe, much over looked by those meddling fools, who think everything neglected which they do not prescribe, and who are, therefore, disposed to enact laws fur every human action. Our paper so-day contains the rules of to us a new and most useful Society, called the " Commercial Travellers' Society of Scot land." Their object is to " estaLlish a fund fur the relief of members incapable of attending to business in consequence of sickness, and for securing a reversionary payment for funeral charges on the death of members." Exposed as the members of this Society are to every ficissitude of the weather, and so numerous as to expend, we are informed, 20,0001. per day for their expenses, they must be very liable to sickness, and must require the aid of those mutual insurances which destroy the crushing power of disease, by spreading the charge of bearing it amongst a great many. All such Societies are deserv ing of public encouragement, for they promote the in dependence of their members, and guard the public against the consequences of individuals being poor and distressed. They are an evidence, too, not to he over looked, of the capability and wiLingness of the masses to attend to the calls of prudence and charity. They serve to raise higher and higher our estimate of human nature, and to, make each individual better pleased with his fellow-creatures, and more proud of the species to which he belongs. The rules of the Society seem to us well calculated to answer the object proposed, and worthy to be adopted by other similar Societies. The Times has got a flourishing account this morn lug of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S proceedings at Stockport, which omits, as is prudent in the Times, the important fact that the poor Baronet was so coldly received, that he escaped as soon as possible. Scarcely two score persons honoured him by their company ; and from them the Baronet ran away. The men of Stockport were ashamed to be seen with. him. They have a just moral perception, and properly shrank from the contamination of such a political tumbler as Sir FIIANCIS. We are surprised that the Yorkshiremen left this ju dicious example to be set by their Stockport neigh bours, and attended, in however small numbers, to grace the journey of the apostate. Now, however, that the example has been set, and now that the once Honourable and patriotic Baronet has been compelled to run away from the neglect of one large town, we bope that his vanity will never again be gratified by reciving that applause which ought only to be given to the consistent and laborious servants of the public. Sir FRANCIS thought to carry his once great popu larity over to the Tory eau-e, but leaving that behind, the Tories now find that be has only added to their disgrace by encumbering them with his damaged character. Mt: conduct of the Archbishop of COLOGNE — the eager interference of the POPE in his behalf—and the authority claimed by that potentate to regulate in Foreign. States domestic matters not purely religious or ecttesiastical, has naturally excited the jealousy of _Prussia, Austria, and Russia. The Emperor of R u.sstA lately issued an order, prohibiting the intro duction of all Papal edicts into his dominions. A Royal ordinance is about to he published at Berlin, relative to the illegal distribution of papers proceeding from Papal agents ; and Austria has followed the ex ample of Prussia, by sequestrating the revenues of three Hungarian Bishops, who had proclaimed their adherence to the opinions of the Archbishop of COLOGNE, relative to mixed marriages. This is the proper way to deal with intcrineddling priests. The rights which the clery in this country assume with regard to appointments by the Crown, ex emplified in their conduct towards the Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford, show that this iwermeddling spirit is not confined to Catholic priests, but such an instance of intolerance and pre sumption is nothing compared with the pretensions of 1 the POPE. He claims a right to interfere in the Go ► f emu-lent of Foreign States, He would maintain an inParnlpl iu imprio, as in the worst days of the Papal tiyrenyu,and dictate to the sovereigns or representative pf other countries, laws not for the solem i; assemi);; ceremony, but . for annul nization of a purely tvii.g-"Q ling rights created by an engagement which ;n r,-., testant England and Catholic France is regarded as a civil contract. It was this encroaching spirit that paved the way for the reformation in this coun= try, and whatever may have been the real motives of Henry VIII., every friend of liberty and national independence must give him credit for the courage with which he shook off the yoke, and established a system of religion entirely independent of a foreign Power. The unanimity with which the three Great Powers on the Continent seem to act in this affair' together with the beneficial effects which even Cathoa lies admit flow from the practice in England and I • Vrante, cannot fail to be attended with good conse , quences. Religious liberty led to the establishment of e ',:!/il liberty in both these countries. Ignorance and its offspribigotry are gradually disappearing in the Continental States fast of the Rhine, and, under such circumstances, the very discussion of this question Imust be for the benefit of both Sovereign and people, We look forward at no distant day to the time when they „,;:: !ollow the example of E n g l a n d , and p ass a law declaring that no foreign Prince, Prelate, State, pr ought to have, any jurisd iction, or Potentate, bath , within their respective p ow er, superiority, or author 4 realms. an article which we insert entire,. The Herald, in A repeats this morning the assertion that our merchants, have made large purchases of corn abroad in expectas: tion of Colonel SEALF's Bill becoming law, Wo; make no pretensions to have received any information! on the subject, but we supposed that the cold and backward Spring afforded a more reasonable explanatin of the alleged purcha ses of our merchants, than the exi ;ectation that the landlords in the I-louse of Peers would ever (.2.. nsent to pass Colonel SEALE'S measure. We must leave our' readers to decide which theory gacity of our merchan ts. does the most honour to tft;.: sa In reply to the Herald's tira,2:" a gainst " free :ocernng trade journals" and " cheap declamation . it Corn-laws, and its own vindication of what: calls protection for " native industry," we must content ourselves with a few sentences. We are convinced, by some attention to the subject, and the example of the Corn-law advocates, that reasoning and facts are alike thrown away on the expediency-mon gers, who can argue themselves into the belief that t . shut out a supply of food, and to lay impediments in th way of our ship-owners and merchants importing wha cargoes they like, and in the way of our manufacturer exchanging their cotton-cloth for the corn of Polar* . or Prussia, that now to inflict a palpable i jury on the commerce of the country will at some future time of great benefit to th people. The Corn-law enacts " that however much cotton-cloth our manufacturers, and however much corn the inhabitants of Prussia may have to sell, and whatever may be the price of these commodi ties, not one web of this cloth shall be given for a quarter of this corn, till wheat sell in our own markets for 735. per quarter, unless it pay a duty proportionate to the price, so that wheat may if possible be always sold to our manufacturers at the rate of 735. per quar ter. This law restricting our manufacturers to buying only corn, till it reach a certain price, of English growth is made by those who have corn to sell. It is as clear a case of one class plundering or robbing another, by means of a law, and God knows such cases are both numerous and flagrant, as is to be found in the whole compass of history. Seeing the influence which country gentlemen and their advocates have had over the public mind, by rireging the changes on such fine phrases, as " protection to native industry," " independence of foreigners," " native grown wheat," Sze., we have come to the conclusion that to argue such a question by decimal fractions, touching prices here and abroad, &c., is a wrong mode of proceeding, and that the only way to get rid of the scoundrel law is to speak of it plainly as it deserves. Who in his senses, in speaking of robbery, stops to argue its re mote advantages ; though it is possible that it may be not wholly and altogether without them ? Robbery is not in our estimation made one particle less ob noxious or less repugnant to morality by being solemnly decreed by those landowners who are to profit bye it. The mental perversion caused by such reason ing, is made apparent by the conclusion to which the Corn-law advocates come. The writer in the Herald describes this restriction on our manufactures and merchants as protection for native industry, as if they were not a part of the community as well as the landowners. Another newspaper writer, notorious for his fallacies, asserted not long ago that to repeal the Corn Laws would ruin our manufacturers and our, merchants ; and on their behalf he condemned Mr. VILLIERS' late motion. We are quite satisfied by such examples that reasoning and facts are the wr ongg weapons with which to combat the Corn Law advo cates, though it can be and has been proved over and over again that a perfectly free trade in corn would much benefit the corn grswers of England—who in proportion to their capital, pay more wages, and are consequently greater sufferers by a high rent being exacted on all time corn their labourers or their animals consume, and on all the earn they use for seed, than any other employers of labour. As reasoning and facts are alike wasted on the landowner, we have come to the resolution of speaking of the Corn-laws only with that indignation which all such nefarious schemes of legislation deserve. As to the contradiction which the Herald supposes it has discovered in our article, it is quite welcome to all the advantage it can reap from it. To have extended its quotation three lines further, would have shown its readers, that " imperceptibly ope rative" was meant to apply only to apparent prices in our own market, whic;;, owing to the bounties of Provi dence in sending us favourable seasons, and Rot id the plundcting landlords, have not risen since 1828 to the famine level, and now, only for the first time, threaten it. 'We admit, at the same time, that a more guarded and qualified language, which a newspaper writer can, however, seldom use, would have better expressed our opinion ; for while we were speaking of the Corn-law, as stinting the food of our people, and crippling our commerce, we could not mean that its ope rations were to us and others wholly imper ceptible, but only imperceptible to those who do not look for the operation of the law beyond its immediate effects. We freely give our Contemporary the benefit of our unguarded language ; but shall not, therefore, admit that the Corn-law, which curtails our supply of food, and puts shackles on the willing in dustry of our manufacturers and our merchants, is not one of the most mischievous laws which with plun dering avarice - ever encumbered the Statute •book. Neither shall we believe, though the Spitaltields' weavers may take their notions of political economy fr:nn the Herald, that " the partial protection of na tive industry secured by the Corn Laws," is the only cause why the mass of the labouring population of England is not reduced to the level of the band-loom weavets. " The principle of securing home markets to home producers" may be an excellent one ; but for such of our manufactures, the cotton for example, which both draws its whole material from foreign countries, and prOduces a large proportion of its Finished work for the foreign market, it is w holly inap plicable. In truth, '' native" and " home," as applied to our political empire, to the dominions under the Government of the QUEEN, have no meaning in com merce and manufactures. The friends of humanity will rejoice with us to learn that all experiment is about to be tried which, we hope, may tend to mitigate the sufferings of our fellow. creatures—particularly those upon whom, by the de. privation of their reason, the severest visitation of Pro ' *dence has fallen. In that receptacle of human woe e Middlesex Pauper Lunatic Asylum, at Hanwell, e daily number of patients treated during the year 837 was 608, and of these twenty-seven were in that at cured, Our readers will naturally be anxious, before we roceea, to develop the new plan, to ascertain by what moral treatment so many as four and a half out ol every hundred lunatics treated in one year Cola have been restored to reason. A recent report of that In; stitution states that " the men are daily occupied; according to their previous habits and abilities, as bricklayers, joiners, stonemason, painters, glaziers, shoe* makers, tailors, coopers, blacksmiths, fartners., gar deners, spinners of twine ; the female patients niat only serve in the place of hired servants in the per formance of the domestic duties, but they are also much employed in spinning twine, in the gardens, farm,: dairy, and other out-door labour. A room has been' set apart as a small bazaar for the working and dis.-' posing of fine needle-work. This has proved highly. advantageous. The ornamental work, and the °cell-) pation ; ( 7.v ,e brought back associations of feeling that _most salutary. There ie every reason to believe that: . ome of the patients have, in consequence of the esta-: 'lishment of this bazaar, absolutely recovered. —(Re ort, 1E337, pp. 9, 10.) As the Visiting Justices, by the resignation of Sir TILLIAM and Lady al.'s, are deprived of their 0 44 b1e services, and under whose admirable treatment nd moral niftmagernent the twenty-seven cures were erformed in the year 1837, have naturally been most anxious in the selection of a resident physician to suc ceed Sir WILLIAM ELLIS, to find one who would not only carry out all the moral plans which have thus been so successful in curing insanity, but one who might also be enabled to introduce others which may ent: to keep up the high reputation which this institu lion has of; 'eined as a curative establishment ; and in are happy to inform our readers this laudable object Nw.; that the Visiting Justic es tii,:ye been most successfu l in their choice at the recent election a appliedg " The profits of the Bazaar are to be to the purchase of an organ," and it is now intended to erect a small Theatre in the Asylum at Hanwell, in which, " a *series of farces" is to be performed. Dr. MILLINGEN alas himself written some most excellent farces and dramatic works, among which the following are well known :—" Name the Winner ;" ~ 'Who'll lend me a 1 Wife ;" The King's Fool;" " The illustrious Stran ger ;', Love Laughs at Bailiffs;" " Spring and Au tumn ;" " Ladies at Home ;" " The Bee-Hive." There are other subjects which we would commend to the notice of Dr. MILLINGEN, among which " The Joke of the Wine-merchant of Bordeaux," and " Re miniscences of a Gin Palace,"—both these topics when viewed in connexion with, and exhibited to the popu lation of, the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, w ould, under his dramatic pen make ad mirable farces, and excite " roars of laughter" from the audience. The Lunatic Report from the Hanwell Asylum, from which we have just quoted, describes the miracu- Aus effects of the moral treatment of the patients. It I . says " the establishment presents rather the appear ance of a little independent colonf than of a Sick Hospital, each one taking a share in prumoting the general welfare ;" in short, all are busy and bustling among the patients. As the subject is so appropriate (and out of compliment to Dr. MILLINGEN), it is intended by the Visiting Justices of the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum to open the intended Theatre there, by reviving Dr. MILLINGBN'S farce of " The Bee Hive," originally produced at the Theatre Royal Drury-lane in 1.M.1. We think the idea of private theatricals well calcu lated, as an auxiliary to the other moral plans, to keep up the high character of the Hanwell Establishment, as a place where insanity is cured ; and We shall anx iously await the result. Due notice shall be given to our readers of the first or any succeeding farces which may be performed in the Hanwell Asylum. The Paris Journals of Sunday have ah us. On Saturday the Chamber of Peers was occupied with the Greek Loan Bill, the debate upon which was adjourned till yesterday. MM. VILLEMAIN and MONTALEMBERT attacked the Government for not taking more effectual measures to check the aggressive policy of Russia. A year had hardly elapsed after the Convention of 1832, before the AUTOCR AT wrung from Turkey the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, which reduced the SULTAN to the rank of a vassal of the CZAR. Th e President of the Council referred to Ancona and Antwerp in vindication of the line of policy adopted by France. It is evident from the debate that the pacific system, particularly as regards Russia, has powerful enemies in the Chamber of Peers, as well as among the Deputies. The Ministerial Journals are wholly engrossed with the scheme for reducing the Five per Cents. The Debats denounces it as the herald of dire calami(ea to the middling classes. Already, according to this orga n, has there been a loss of thirty-six millions of francs. The old fundholders are driven by neces sity to vest their property in shares and specu lations. Jobbing thrives upon the ruin of public credit. Even in one day (Saturday) the Rentes fell a franc and a half, so great was the rush to get rid of them before the compulsory conversion. The ultra-Liberal papers, on the contrary, laud the deter mination of the Ministers to desert the Rentiers, whom they designate a ewarm of locusts. It is certainly contrary to every principle of justice that a whole na tion should be perp etuall y taxed to i n terest of a debt wh ich it has the means of discharging, t and it is willing either to discharge or oc exorbitant thine, subject to the 7::!° of interest for which money to any amount, on the same seeiriiT, if to be had in the market. 11 reached The following telegraphic despatch, from Bayonne, appeared in the official columns of the Charte of Sa turday night : . - " BAYONNE, April 19.—The French Ambassador at Ma drid writes to me that according to a report received from General Carondelet, Negri presented himself before Valla dolid on the 12th, and was vigorously repulsed by the garrison. " There were no tidings of Basilio since the dispersion of his faction, The Senate has voted the projected loan by a makr:ty of 86 to 3 " If it be true that AGUADO persists in refusing to THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1838. furnish the loan, the Madlid Cabinet will find itself in a very ridiculous poiition, unless some other capitalist take upon him to furnish money on the security guaranteed by the:Ministerial Bill. It has been said that the mission of Redschid Paella to Paris was for the purpose of urging- the rights of the Pcrte to Al giers, but a journal of this morning gives a correction of this statement, which we can only copy without any further gua rantee. We now learn that this mission is connected with one of the unforeseen difficulties arising from the taking of Constan ;ine. Achiret Bey had paid to the Porte his tribute as a canal up to the moment of his being dispossessed ; the Porte thinks itself entitled to claim the same payment from France, and the Ottoman Ambassador comes to Paris to open liege (Talons on this:subject. The same journal adds—several jour nals have spoken of a t r eaty of p eace for restoring Constan tine to Achmet Boy ; this is perhaps the first step taken by the Ministry to avoid the emba:rassment which awaits it. In this case the Ministry would act very unadvisedly, for Constantine is in the same situation as all Africa; if Constan tine is restored to Achmet to avoid the remonstrances of the Porte, the whole Regency must be restored. This might suit some persons, but they would not venture on it. Maorstn, APRIL 14. —The prosecutions of the Press con tinue.

The Lottn CnaNcELtort gave judgment to-day in this case, the facts of which he gave yesterday, when the case was argued. The object of the suit was to have certain mortgages charged upon the personal estate of a testator of the name of Boucher. His Lordship, after going at considerable length into the facts of the case, stated his epittiort to be, that the personal estate of Mr. Boucher must bear the mortgages, debts, and decreed accordingly. IN THE MATTER OF RICHARDS, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. Our readers will recollect that this ease was ordered to stand over till to-dv, in order to afford Dr. Southey an op portunity of seeing Mr. Richards, and stating his opinion as to his state of mind. Upon the case being called on, The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that his Secretary in Lu nacy, Mr. Cartlidge, had received a letter from Dr. Southey, in which he stated that he had seen Mr. Richards in com pany with Dr. Roberts and Mr. Salmon ; that he found him suffering severely under bodily disease, that he had a slight attack of paralysis, which made him highly nervous, und' impaired his memory; that upon his (Dr. Southey) putting several questions to him, although he answered them slowly, he never gave a foolish reply; and it was his opinion, though Mr. Richards was on the brink of the grave, and though his mental faculties were impaired by old age and disease of body, still ho was not a person who was to be considered incompetent to the management of his own pecuniary affairs. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Upon Mr. Anderson's asking for time to consider what course his clients would adopt, ordered the case to stand in the: paper on Thursday for judg ment, when he would hear any suggestions from either party. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MAMA of the Rous WAS occupied the whole of the morning with hearing consent petitions, none of which pos sessed any feature of public interest. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DA*l7. ...erest occupied his HONOR Petitions of no general public vim`' the whole morning. _ BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) KNOWLES V. WARD. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict in this case, tried at Guildhall, before Lord Den man, should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The verdict was for defendant. It was an action of trover brought to recover certain property, consisting of furniture, which had belonged to the plaintiff, and which was seized by the defen dant while in the possession of William Jay, of Herne Bay, to whom it had been let at a rental of 20 per cent. on its value. The principal ground on which the application was made was the improper admission of evidence. The defendant pleaded, first, that the plaintiff was not the owner of the property, and next, that it was in the possession of Jay. On the part of the plaintiff it was proved that the furniture was bought by the plaintiff at Messrs. Sewell and Cross, and paid for by him, and that it was let by the assignees of Knowles to Jay, at the rate above stated. The evidence objected to was certain letters alleged to have been confidential, which were put in by defendant to prove that the property was in the possession of Jay. The COURT considered the letters were properly received.— Rule refused. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) ( Sittings in Banco.) BENSON V. A.DALISON. The Court was occupied all the morning with this case, in which a rule nisi for a new trial was obtained last Term. Mr. ALExANorca showed cause against the rule, and Mr. WATSON supported it. The argument had not concluded, when our Reporter left. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ILLIIAII V. IKEY. Mr. PETERSDObFF moved for a rule nisi to set aside a non suit, which was directed to be entered in this case by Mr. Baron Gurney. The plaintiff married a widow lady of some fortune. Soon after the marriage the husband and wife jointly directed the defendant to sell out some of her property, to pay certain amounts, and to draw up certain settlements for the remainder. The husband (plaintiff) brought his action for 150/. as money had and received to his use, but the defendant pleaded that he was a trustee for the wife, and that he had not received the money for the use of the plaintiff. The Couer said the money never had been the plaintiff's. The defendant was trustee of the money for certain purposes, and might be compelled to perform them by a Court of Equity. The action for money had and received could not therefore be maintained.—Rule refused. PRESTON V. CARTER. Mr. KELLY moved to set aside a verdict for the defendant in this case, as being against all the evidence in the cause. It was an action to recover penalties from the defendant for supplying a workhouse with bread while he was filling the office of Overseer of the pariah, The Learned Judge ( Mr. Baron Gurney) summed up in favour of the plaintiff, and he ( Mr. Kelly) believed was dissatisfied with the verdict. He had no hesitation in saying that justice had been defeated by a conspiracy on the part of the whole of the parish offieers, who evidently came to the Court with a determination to screen the defendant. He also moved, on the ground of sur prise, for they proposed to prove their case even more fully than they had done, and subpamaed the Vestry Clerk, in whose hands were placed the invoices sent in by the defendant after they had been paid. When he was served he promised to attend, and to produce his books and papers, but when he came into the box he said the papers ought to have been in his possession, but his brother had given them to some other person shortly before the trial, and without his knowledge, Mr. Baron ALDEIIBON—Can you bring home any of the misconduct to the defendant ? Mr. KELLY could not do so directly, but from the conduct of all the witnesses, who were his fellow parish officers. Mr. Baron GURNEY — There could be no doubt they came to the Court with a determination to know nothing. The COURT said the rules of law in such a case were in flexible. They could not in a strictly penal action grant a rule on the ground of the verdict being against evidence. Neither could they do so unless some of the misconduct com plained of were brought home to the defendant.—Rule refused. ITAIMIS V. NEWTON. This action was also tried before Mr. Baron GURNEY, at the sittings at Guildhall after last term, when a verdict passed for the plaintiff—Damages 125/. Mr. KELLY now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of being against all the evidence in the cause. It was an ac tion for a non-performance of a contract. A Broker, named Short, contracted between the two parties, for a sale of 100 tuns of Spelter, at a given price, and to be delivered in a cer tain time, which was not performed, and the verdict was the amount of difference of price, or profit on the bargain. The plaintiff at the trial simply put in the contract note, and proved the non-delivery of the article but by a witness who knew nothing at all of the affair. The defence was that the contract had been procured by fraud, covin, and misrepresentation, inasmuch as the contract was entirely for the benefit of Short, the broker, and that the plaintiff had no further interest in the matter than being paid 4s. a-ton for the use of his name. This was proved to have been told to two persons by Harris himself.— Rule granted. BAIL COURT.-('PHIS DAY.) The Earl Brownlow and Earl Mount Edgecumbo took the oaths of allegiance, abjuration, and supremacy. Earl Brownlow was also sworn in as Lord Lieutenant of the county of Lincoln, and Earl Mount Edgecumbe as Lord Lieutenant of the county of Cornwall. REGINA, ON THE PROSECUTION OF V. ---. In this case (the names of the parties not transpiring) Mr. BODKIN made an application that the time for admitting the defendant to bail, which had been fixed for that day, should be enlarged, that the prosecutor should be enabled to contra dict the statements of the defendant in the affidavit which de fendant had filed, to obtain bail, and which statements the pro secutor affirmed he could satisfactorily refute. Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendant (who, with his bail, ap peared in Court), resisted the application, contending that it would be most unjust to the defendant to put to the delay and expense of again proceeding and bringing up bail, when his affidavit might have been answered by the prosecutor be fore. Two bills had been found against the defendant for felony (in embezzling his master's property ) ; but on the affi davit of one person only with prosecutor; and these bills had not been filed, until the defendant had brought two actions against the present prosecutor, one for arrears of wages, and another for slander. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said the case should be adjourned till Thursday. • REGINA V. BRADLEY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be issued against Mr. Bradley, an attorney of Richmond ( Yorkshire). The appli cation was made on the part of Mr. Crofts, the Mayor of Richmond, under these circumstances. The Mayor presided at a public meeting, in pu rsuance o f a commun i cat i on f rom the Poor-Law ommissioners respecting the valuation of the rateable prop( rty in the parish, at which meet ing a committee was appointed to arrange that valuation. The Mayor was Chairman of that Committee; and Mr. Brad. ley understanding that in this capacity the Mayor had ad dressed a letter to the Poor-law Guardians, stating that a protest against the Committee had been carried aVout the town for signatures by Mr. Bradley, as the son, and brother of the Messrs. Bradley, surveyors, who expected, but for this Committee, to have this valuation themselves. A correspon-, dence ensued between the parties, in whiela Mr. Bradley wrote some strong expressions, intended (as the Mayor in his affi davit stated) to provoke him (the Mayor), to scn.4 him a challenge. Mr. justice WILLIAMS was of opinion that no danger to the pnblic was to be apprehended, and that there was therefore no necessity for this summary proceeding.—Rule refused. COURT -RT OF t.::NCIs'—(THIS DAY.) The Court met Ma morninm after the Easter vacati on; 4 % adjudicate up on severa l cas e s wherein very heavy frauds have been committed upon the revenue. Richard Matthews ; of 7 t YiVaia liow i 4bomlita, ap warcd to answer an informat'on, on behal tf the Crown, for having upon his premises, which were an uucntercd glass ma nufactory, an immense quantity of glass, which had never paid duty. It appeared by the evidence of Garey and Stories, Ex eise-offieerr, supported by that of Mr. Golding Bird, the Examiner-General Surveyor of Excise, that from private in formation received .it the chief office of Excise, and knowing that upon a former occasion he had been convicted of frauds upon the revenue, they went to the defendant's house for the purpose of searching it, and brought away an immense (Pan' tity of scent, bear's-gre2se, and other bottles. The defend. , ant did not attempt to offer any defence, and the CommUsiala ers ordered the Whole of the property seized to be confiseateas and in addition a penalty of 101. to be levied upon the de fendant. Another illicit glass.manufacturer, residing in Whiteehapol road, named Whitebread, who, it appeared, had imposed upon the revenue to a vast extent, was also mulct in a penalty of 251., besides having the whole of his goods seized and forfeited. ADULTERATION OF SPIRITS Mr. John flendtr.soo, of "The Shades," Martin's-lane% City, was proceeded against for an excess found on the balance of his stock, by Pitcairne and IVlecharn, his surveying officers. It appeared that the defendant's w as a h ouse d o i ng an exces sive business, and upon the officers balancing his stock found alt incroaso of eighteen gallons in ninety of rum, which after strong opposition on the part of the defendant, the Commis sioners ordered to be condemned, and told the defendar.r that upon this occasion, it being his first offence, they slnould not visit him with a penalty. A quantity of rum and brandy, which had been seized by Mr. Bullen and Mr. Austin, very active officers, from a Mt' Bushell, of the Carpenters' Arms, Howland -street, Fitzr°Y square ; Francis Wood, Harrison's Arms, St. Pancras ; John Chipps, Queen's Head, Knightsbridge ; George Greenlar". King'e Head, Knightsbridge ; and several " also ordered to be confiscated to " - as much as thirty peer -- Crown, . cent. under proof. -- so - m e e uo onfcai t su,enr: BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) F. 2lioss, a foreigner, was brought up by Kirkman, constable of the F division, ch a r ge d w i t h s t ea li ng a pair 0 ' trousers, and a quantity of tools, the property of George Voight, a pianoforte maker, Clarence.place, Pentonville. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, that the prisoner was in great distress when he gave him employine° 4 and having placed the greatest confidence in him, no susp i cion of dishonesty was attached to him, until a quantity of pawn* brokers' duplicates for the tools belonging to the workshoP were found in Lis possession. Having declined making all defence he was ordered to be remanded for a week. Amelia Brown, an incorrigible virago, was charged by Mr' Robert Clark, straw-bonnet manufacturer, 6, Drury-lane, and stated that last evening the pris oner came i nto his shop, f after selecting a valuable Legho rn b onnet , asked,ie price ° it. The complainant's daught er t urne d to her mother for th required information, and the p r i soner insta':itly disappear ed ' taking the article with her. The cornr e l iainant went in e t suit, and as the policeman was conviziing her t o the statl° rl ' she snatched the bonn e t from 'nim, and tore it to pieces. When placed at the bar sh e refused, in the most audac ious manner, to hear the ch arge , d ec l ar i ng she would repea t lie offence when an opportunity would offer. The Magistra,,, ordered her to prison fo r t wo mont h s, and, laying hol d o f t" bar, she stamped and swore that she would not submit to my_ such punishment. She was at l ength removed by three o f te: officers, and handcuffed in the cell, to prevent her doing her self any injury.
